Shares, with Interest

Every week or so, I’m going to share with you some interesting personal finance articles from around the Internet. I know that I can provide the viewpoints of a solitary 29-year-old American engineer, but lots of these other authors will provide views from mothers, fathers, world travelers, teachers, retirees…the list goes on and on. I’ll give you a quick sentence or two describing the subject of these articles, and the rest is up to you!

I know that I’ve certainly learned a lot by reading these posts, so I hope that you might too.

First, Jackie Beck writes about the labels of “good debt” and “bad debt,” and some of the mental traps that this good/bad thinking can cause. In short, a debt gorilla by any other name is still a debt gorilla.

Then, DollarFinancials talks about how to get that monkey off your chest using two well-proven methods: the Debt Snowball and the Debt Avalanche. Do debt monkeys dislike snow or something?

Maybe you need some extra bananas for the monkey? Marc at BibleMoneyMatters gives you a rundown of side gigs, from Uber to Mystery Shopping. What’s Mystery Shopping? That’s the Mystery…

To get you motivated for your next side-hustle adventure, This Online World provides some wise words to consider, opined by the likes of Mark Twain, Elon Musk, and Muhammad Ali. “The dream is free. The hustle is sold separately.” Mic drop.

Changing gears from debt, Andy Hill from Marriage, Kids, and Money shares the important factors in his career progression, and what led to his salary raises. As a young professional looking to grow and prosper, Andy’s tips definitely resonated with me. Work hard, work smart, be nice.

EuroTrip, anyone? The Poor Swiss takes a stab at comparing Transferwise and Revolut, two common currency exchange services.

I hope you find at least one of these Shares applicable to your personal finance. I’ll be back next week with some more original thoughts, and some more Shared knowledge from the rest of the Finance Blogosphere.
